Good for a cat enclosure for the patio?

At first it was very good for my Yorkies until they discovered how to get out. In the middle it has an opening at the bottom and your cat will discover that opening.

Not At all,I have my cats go thru it all the time.If you were to nail/screw it to the wood tight maybe but then its not a screen door.

Cat will be able to go under it and possibly scratch it to pieces. This is more for insect protection

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs.tl;drThis product will not hold up to any cat.Best of luck to you!

Very sturdy. It's got a metal frame. Should be fine for your cat to lay on.

this is PERFECT for your feral cats - the "upstairs" area is a bit small because there is an opening in the middle, down to the ground level but .. if you do NOT take out the wire - elevate so there is an up and down level...and make sure it is shielded below from driving rain or wind, should be big enough for both ...i am nuts about cats ...and i bought one for each ...sleep upstairs, litter box in the bottom for when i have to bring them inside and contain them ..these shelters are perfect for cats !!!

Yes, actually think a patio area is ideal. I use it indoors and often have to fold it up when not in use. The mat is pretty hardy so should last.

It is good as your cats will enjoy the fresh air and being with you as well as seeing birds etc. It is important to make sure both doors on the crate are closed when they are on the patio. The best crates we had from Amazon was the MidWest crates. Our cats are indoor cats but we screened our patio and our pets can go out there, best thing we have ever done; we do use the crates indoors. We have a bed, water, food and a covered litter tray in the crate for them but only one cat per crate in a 42 inch - it works well.

I have the problem with my medium size cat using it. While the side and bottom are secure, the other corner not secure tore my screen and it became wobbly after a while.While this is cheap, it worked for me. If you have a sliding patio door, I'd look into get one of the more expensive doors you put in and slide closed on. I bought one for a friend and's perfect for his dogs. He just puts it into place over the summer and his dogs can come and go all day long.

The cover protects the sand from stray cats taking care of their business in there. If you dont have a cat problem then you are ok. We will definitely use the cover in our back yard.

I think YardStash II for feral cats would be considered overkill. There is so much room it think you would do better with a small pup tent or even a pet shipping crate. I guess you could keep the bottom and flap partially unzipped for access if you are determined to use it.

It will hold two cats. It is cute but mine is in the garage for a sick chicken. I doubt you would get more than a couple of years outdoors. IKeep it from the elements would be best.

The Heated K&H Outdoor Kitty House would be the more sturdy of the two and provide sufficient heat. It has an excellent thick heating pad you put inside which is very cushionyyy. I took off the plastic on both sides since the movement of the plastic seemed to scare the feral cats away. Heating pad is warm for them and works with the heat of their own bodies. Keep this out of the rain and wind. Garage would be perfect if for a feral cat, otherwise place it where it wont get wet and battered by wind and where dogs cant get to the cats. I bought this for our feral cat we have had since a kitten when her mother put her up on our wall and left her there. We took her in and kept her in our garage and she has always remained very warm, and that was 2 years ago. She roams the neighborhood but always comes back at night for food and her house.

It might be, but a better one would be perhaps a rabbit hutch (new if you can afford it, used if you can't, or homemade, and with a solid rather than mesh floor) so that they would be above ground. There's plenty of room inside this, but not a good way to allow access and too much wasted space unless you put tiers inside it. Better for cats than rabbits, anyway -- rabbits should *not* be kept outside!!!

Yeah, definitely. I think the medium said it can hold 60lbs but my friend (about 150lbs) actually got in once and it held up fine. Your cat will be more than comfortable. I know both my cat and dog love having this on the patio.

i use mine on an open porch, have used this type for years. porch is set back, but roofless. could try slitting an old Styrofoam cooler and feeding cord thru slit in back....i feed feral cats and use them for both wet food and water. for food i but a stainless pan with water in first and then a more shallow pyrex over with canned food in. works well. hope this helps.

Yes, but in all honesty, I only use it as a feeding station for neighborhood cats. I have no idea if it could be a shelter. In driving rain it gets damp at the door.

I have mine sitting on my covered porch. It also sits low to the ground. I would guess that if it is in a backyard where it's going to have snow/rain you should elevate it on something and possibly tie it down with a bungee cord/something on top. It has some heft to it, but mine is plastic with a wooden bottom. It's good, but if you need heavy duty, the Kitty tube is much stronger and heavier.

I think you'd be ok. One of the things I covered was a lamp cord that measures about that. The tubing is split so even it its a little snug you would be able to cover. It take a bit of patience to cover things but well worth it. My cat has left all my cords alone now!

Probably. If your cat seems to like the solid, long vertical surfaces of a door frame, this would be the closest thing, and the fact that it's sisal covered should make it more appealing than a door frame. If I had this problem, I would get this and keep a squirt bottle handy. Praise him when he uses the post, squirt him when he uses the door frame.
